Dash_Harber posted... g0ldie posted... this topic is stupid, and I highly doubt that the black community has anything to do with Troy's production or casting This, and in addition, not only were the Greeks involved in trade in Africa but as far as I know, the series only depicts Achilles as black. More importantly, it's talking about a fictional period, not a historical reenactment. Not only do we not have evidence that it actually happened, but the 'historical account' actually includes the goddess of discord throwing apples at the other gods, a man who bathed in a hell river, and literal fucking eight-story horse (that's not to mention the sequel, which includes a cyclop, magic arrows, and fucking mermaids). So I'm not really sure how the fuck anyone could mistake this as a documentary in the first place. Zeus is also black Again, I don't think you can argue he was 'historically' anything. You can most certainly argue the historical depictions of these characters which were most certainly never depicted as African. --- N/A <cite>thelovefist posted [p:899873097] in Troy: Netf...

I wonder if you guys here are mad about what Disney did to fairies and dwarves and folk tales in general. Cinderella was butchered by Disney far worse than any "black washing" has ever done. Nah man. Its only a problem for the usual suspects if a black person is involved If Blade was cast white or Asian i would be just as upset. Certain characters do not need to be washed into anything other then what they were created to be. You can say what you want but i guarantee you if a black character became white there would be outrage.

Achilles hides among young girls, because he's got long hair and is extremely pretty and it's why people like him. It's an essential part of his character to be like that. Just as for Blade to be the way he is. There will always be changes, but one can change a story without changing a character, and that doesn't have to be a race change but appearance is a big thing. If a story depicting Jesus came out where he had short hair and no beard, people would rightfully be allowed to complain that he is deviating from the character they know.
